How it works:

• Detection: The system uses heat detectors to monitor the temperature within the kitchen hood and ductwork. When a fire starts, the heat triggers the system.  
• Activation: Upon detection of excessive heat, the system automatically discharges a fire suppression agent.  
• Suppression: The agent, typically a wet chemical or dry chemical, quickly extinguishes the fire by cutting off oxygen and creating a cooling effect.  
• Additional features: Many systems also include automatic shutdown of ventilation systems, gas supply, and electrical power to prevent the fire from reigniting.

Benefits:

• Rapid fire suppression: Quickly contains and extinguishes fires.  
• Property protection: Minimizes damage to the kitchen and building.  
• Safety: Protects personnel from fire-related injuries.  
• Compliance: Meets industry safety standards and insurance requirements.

By implementing a kitchen hood fire suppression system, commercial kitchens can significantly reduce the risk of fire-related incidents and protect their operations.
